ver the past twenty years, Portbase has developed PCS, and now it is the key information exchange system for Dutch port logistics chains. The addition of Platform Solutions is another big step forward. Van der Wolf: “Technological developments are making it easier to share data and develop new applications. Parties have an increasing need for data. Data platforms are shooting up. We have followed that trend. Instead of each separate port company having to invest, we at Portbase provide these logistics for the whole community. It is much more efficient. Our community consists of more than 5.000 companies with 20.000 users bundling a lot of data. We firmly believe that sharing more data will make port logistics chains faster, more efficient, better and greener. We want to help our ports be the smartest in Europe.”

CEO Iwan van der Wolf: “In addition to our existing support for the core processes of the ports, companies and governments can now create their own communities within PCS in a simple and secure manner. In a very user-friendly way, they can share additional data with new target groups or receive such data. Platform Solutions makes doing more with data possible for everyone in the logistics chain.”
